560 Eastern Parkway, Brooklyn, NY 11225

The 6-unit, 3-story old law tenement building at 560 Eastern Parkway in Crown Heights, owned by Sam Stern and constructed in 1925, has experienced several notable issues over recent years, particularly concerning maintenance compliance. Most concerning are the four open Housing Maintenance Code violations related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports, with inspection dates spanning from 2021 to 2024.

Additionally, there are four active Department of Buildings violations from June 2023 regarding the failure to file external low-pressure inspections for the years 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2022, suggesting ongoing neglect of critical safety requirements. The building has maintained reasonably consistent rodent inspection results, with the most recent inspections in 2024 and 2025 passing, though a DOHMH complaint from October 2023 regarding rodent attraction conditions was closed without access to the property being inspected.

Historical records show regular rodent inspections since 2011, with most passing, though there was one failure in January 2013 for "Other Reasons." The Department of Buildings has recorded two complaints in late 2022 regarding excessive debris and a sweep issue, both of which were determined not to warrant violations upon inspection. While the building's management has generally addressed rodent-related concerns through inspections, the ongoing violation notices related to bedbug reporting and low-pressure inspections indicate persistent gaps in maintenance compliance that merit attention.
